The organisations are calling on the UK government to expand the Youth Mobility Scheme (YMS) to European Union countries to fill the estimated 69% drop in UK staff working in the EU since Brexit took full effect.
Abta and UKinbound want the issue considered as part of the upcoming review of the UK-EU trade deal in 2026. The two organisations spoke with UK MPs at an event in parliament on Tuesday (12 September) to highlight the matter.
The YMS is already in place for countries including Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
